What secrets are contained in this dread volume? What horrors will be awakened by reading its befouled pages?

Properties

• When you use a wizard spell with this tome as its implement, you can change the damage type to necrotic. If you do so, the spell gains the necrotic keyword.
  
• When you use this tome as an implement, you treat all allies as enemies until the end of your next turn.
  

Power (Summoning) ✦ Daily (Free Action)

Trigger: When using this tome as your implement, you drop a Small or Medium enemy to 0 hit points with an implement attack power. That enemy must not be a construct, ooze, or plant.

Effect: You summon a shuffling zombie (see below) in the target's space. The shuffling zombie is an ally to you and your allies. The zombie lacks actions of its own. Instead, you spend your own actions to allow the zombie to perform actions from its list. The zombie can perform the same type of action which you spend commanding it. You can command it to perform a standard, move, and minor action each turn. You must have line of effect to the zombie in order to command it.

When the zombie makes an attack roll or any check, you make the roll using your modifiers and scores. The zombie has no healing surges.

The zombie cannot use weapons, implements, or any other items.

A zombie remains in play until you take an extended rest, you dismiss it (a minor action), or it drops to 0 hit points.
